Summary
We enter on the boiz discussing Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's iconic BBC panel show Shooting Stars, a program that introduced the world to Matt Lucas and Mark Lamarr. While trying to keep their heads above water, Tim and Guy are informed of the exciting future of Mattress Pikelet King's 'And Just Like That' series and the fact that Paul Blart Mall Cop 2's Neil McDonough is on TikTok now. The pair (Tim and Guy, not Neil and TikTok) have been working on spelling and porn respectively and gently guide any interested parties to a live show in Auckland to celebrate the success of the Did Titanic Sink?

| 1:01.4 | the, yeah, it was a, um, Mark Lamar was like the heel of the show. Yeah. I can't remember what the |
| 1:06.6 | guy's name is, the comedian who sort of played him, because there wasn't his name, mate. There was |
